It was pitch black under the entrance of the cave, Zhang Tude was a little hesitant to jump down, and he couldn't see how high it was, although he could return to another world if he died, but he didn't want to taste the taste of falling to pieces.

It wasn't until Gao Wen's urging voice came below that Zhang Tude gritted his teeth and jumped down, but it was not as high as he imagined, and he landed safely with the improved physical fitness of the human flesh Ganoderma lucidum.

"Whew, this place is pretty big."

After Zhang Tude walked forward for a while, he found that this place was very large, the surrounding walls were painted with exquisite murals, the stone pillars were carved with various patterns, the sides were full of very realistic stone carvings, the ground was full of gold bars and precious stones, and many things that Zhang Tude did not recognize.

Gao Wen stood in front of a stone pillar not far away, Zhang Tude just wanted to walk over but felt that he stepped on something under his feet, he looked down and found that it was a dried corpse, and then looked forward and found that there were such corpses all over the ground, and Gao Wen was still stepping on one under his feet.

These dried corpses were all wearing a kind of white robes, which reminded Zhang Tude of the remnants that Gao Wen mentioned, which couldn't help but make him have a question:

"So many survivors have died here, and Gao Qian said that they committed suicide before, but their ancestors have been in the tomb for at least hundreds of years, why can't they think of committing suicide decades ago?"

With this question, Zhang Tude walked towards Gao Wen, pushed away the corpses on the ground as he walked, and cleared a way before he and Gao Wen.

After arriving at Gao Wen, Zhang Tude found that there was also a dried corpse on the stone pillar, but the dried corpse was obviously different from the others, he was much taller than ordinary people, at least more than two meters tall, and he was covered with a black armor, but his hands, feet, shoulders and other parts were nailed with nails.

There was also a big hole in the middle of the armor, and a thing that looked like a mushroom grew from the inside to the outside, Gao Wen saw Zhang Tude coming over, so he took out a knife and quickly cut down the thing, and then put it in his bag, and said to Zhang Tude

"This is Liu Qiao's corpse, the armor on his body is quite valuable, although it is a little broken, but how can you get dozens of Yangshou Dan if you take it out and exchange it."

Zhang Tude hesitated, but still took off the armor, after all, that Yang Shou Dan is a good thing, but the armor is very heavy, and Zhang Tude, who is now as powerful as an ox, is tired enough.

"How can he really wear heavy armor to go to war?"

"Of course you can, for those who practice the martial arts of the military family, there is naturally no problem with wearing this kind of armor, you can put it here first, wait for you to do something, and I will take it outside for you."

Zhang Tude piled the armor aside and asked Gao Wen

"Will you be sentenced to death if you keep your armor in Siqi?"

"No, big countries don't have such rules, but some small countries do."

It seems that this world is a little different from the ancient times of the world on his side, maybe it's because of the cultivators? Zhang Tude then asked about his doubts about the suicide of the survivors.

Gao Wen glanced at the white-robed corpses all over the ground, kicked the one under his feet aside, and then said

"Maybe the day has come when the monarch promised to take them to immortality, so they all committed suicide before they could wait."

"Become an immortal? Hasn't the monarch been dead for many years? Could it be that he really became an immortal and came back? ”

Gao Wen did not continue to answer Zhang Tude's question, but asked rhetorically

"What do you think of this mausoleum?"

Zhang Tude thought about it, he really didn't know how to answer, what was there to say about a place where a dead man lived, and he hadn't seen any other ancient tombs, but when he thought of the treasures and luxurious decorations all over the ground, he still said

"I don't know what to say, but I still want to live in this kind of place after I die, I didn't have a blessed life in life, and I can make it up after I die."

Gao Wen nodded

"Even if such a mausoleum is not inferior to the mausoleums of many emperors in these countries such as Siqi and Daliang, but Siqi, Daliang is a big country, and although the country of Shixian is stronger than the surrounding countries, it is always a small country with only a few cities, and in order to build such a mausoleum, the national strength of the entire country has almost been exhausted.

All the men of the Serving Immortal Kingdom except for the army were arrested to repair the tomb, and even later even the women and children were taken away as laborers, and when the Great Qi attacked the Serving Immortal Kingdom, it was found that the army of the Serving Immortal Kingdom was about to collapse at the first touch, and the houses were empty except for the national capital.

In the end, when the Great Qi attacked the capital of the Shixian Kingdom, the people in the city took the initiative to open the city gate, and the Daqi army occupied the national capital without spending a single soldier, and the Shixian Kingdom also perished. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Tude felt that his thoughts just now were a little disgusting, but he was very puzzled

"Is this monarch who serves the Immortal Kingdom to repair the mausoleum crazy? In order to enjoy happiness after death, the whole country was compensated, and the people suffered so much, no one knows what will happen after death, is it worth it? ”

"No, he knows what will happen to him when he dies, and this mausoleum is not for himself."

"It's not for himself, for whom?"

"This tomb is for immortals."

Gao Wen pointed to the mural on the wall next to him, and saw that there were many people kneeling to a person, and the person receiving the kneeling did not have a face, and his body was a giant compared to the person who knelt down.

"The one they worship is the immortal who lives here, and the one kneeling at the front is a certain generation of monarchs of the Immortal Country."

Gao Wen pointed to a small figure next to him, a man dressed in a yellow robe with a crown on his head, although he was a monarch, he seemed to be no different from other kneeling people on the mural.

"It took national strength to build this mausoleum just to make this immortal live comfortably? How can this king of the immortal kingdom be like a slave? ”

Zhang Tude stared at the mural, looking at everything on it, he felt a little incredible, and Gao Wen also said at this time:

"You're right, the monarch is the slave of the immortals, not only this country of immortals, before the unification of the world by Daqi, many countries here were like this, the country of immortals is quite normal, and some countries even worship evil spirits and some things that are inexplicable and unclear.

After those countries were wiped out, some of their customs have even been preserved to the present, and if you have the opportunity to go to those very remote areas of the countries in the future, you may be able to encounter them.

Having said that, it is not without benefit for the monarch of the dead country to build this tomb for the immortals.

According to the records of the Immortal Kingdom itself, the reason why the immortal wanted the monarch to repair the tomb was because he predicted that there would be a catastrophe in a thousand years, and he would return to the immortal world to prepare, leaving behind the mortal body, and when the catastrophe occurred, he would return to the world.

The mortal body needs to be placed in the tomb and worshiped by the royal family himself, which is why the king of the kingdom put a curse on the ancestors of the remnants, he needs these people and their descendants to live forever in this tomb and serve the immortals like servants.

When the mausoleum was almost completed, the immortal taught the monarch the method of becoming an immortal, and asked the monarch to cut off the head of his mortal body as a cultivation material after he returned to the immortal realm.

After cultivating for a period of time, the monarch said to his people and the people in the country that he was about to become immortals, and he would also take them to the immortal realm in the future, but soon after that, the Immortal Kingdom was destroyed by the Great Qi. ”
